MILWAUKEE, Feb. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Briggs &
Stratton Corporation's small vertical Professional Series™ engine
has been popular with both homeowners and light-commercial users
for its high power, commercial-grade components and durability
since its introduction. For the 2018 season, the company redesigned
select models1 within the series to provide improved
durability and easier maintenance.
As part of the company's mission to make work easier and improve
lives, the redesign sought to bring proven innovations from the EXi
Series to the high-performance and durability expected of the
Professional Series. Commercial-grade componentry continues to be a
hallmark of the Professional Series. However, the redesign brings
added durability to the 775, 850 and 875 Professional Series by
moving the control package from the front to the side of the mower
and incorporating an improved radial air filtration system to
ensure only the cleanest air enters the engine. The
ReadyStart® starting system gets a fresh look and
remains backed by Briggs & Stratton's Starting Promise™ to
start within two pulls or the company will fix it for
free.2 In addition to these changes, the 775 and 875
Professional Series now also feature Just
Check & Add™ technology to make engine maintenance for
these premium users even easier because they never need to change
the oil. 3
"Homeowners who use the Professional Series demand the very best
in power, durability and performance," said Jeff Coad, vice president global marketing and
product management of engines and power at Briggs & Stratton.
"With this redesign, we took the best of our EXi Series and
combined it with the best of the Professional Series to give them
an option that's powerful, durable and now even easier to maintain
with Just Check & Add."
The entire small vertical Professional Series line will continue
to be manufactured at Briggs & Stratton's state-of-the-art
Poplar Bluff facility in
Missouri.4 Look for the
redesigned Briggs & Stratton Professional Series engines on
outdoor power equipment in early 2018 at retailers and authorized
dealers.
1 Redesign applies only to the small vertical 775,
850 and 875 Professional Series engines.
